Definitions

  • the physical training device comprises a. a parallelepiped casing provided with a plurality of arms extending therefrom in the manner of the legs of a spider and each carrying at its free end a sucking vessel for securing the casing to the ground or a wall,
  • this physical training device comprises a. a parallelepiped casing adapted to be secured to the ground or a wall by appropriate arms (of the spider leg type) extending from the casing and pro-. vided with sucking vessels;
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a physical training device according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a ball joint mounting a pedal of the physical training device
  • FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section taken on the line A-A in FIG. 4 and showing a ball joint mounting the pedal supporting rods on the casing, and
  • FIG. 4 is a transverse section taken on the line B-B in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 1 shows a casing 1 having a parallelepiped form and a handle 1.
  • the casing 1 can be mounted on the ground or a wall by four sucking vessels 2 carried by arms 2' extending from the four corners of the casing l.
  • the sucking vessels 2 may be movably or rigidly mounted on the arms'2'.
  • Two rigid spaced rods 3 extend upwardly from the casing l and the lower end of each of them is screwed into a ball 4 enclosed by two jaws 5 and 6 each provided with a hemispherical recess with the two recesses facing each other to receive the ball 4.
  • the two jaws 5 and 6 are shiftably' mounted on a pair of rods 7 secured to support members 8 and 9.
  • the jaws 5 and 6 clamp the ball 4 under the action of a helical spring 10 whose clamping force can be adjusted from outside the casing l by turning a knob l I having a shaft threadably engaged in the support member 9 to thereby adjust or vary the frictional force exerted between the ball 4 and the jaws 5, 6 and thus the resistance encountered in carrying out the physcial excercise.
  • each rod 3 is also threaded and screwes into a ball joint essentially comprising a ball 12 provided in its centre with a through hole 13 having the shape of an inverted double cone.
  • a shaft 14 extends through the hole 13 and a spherical sheath l5 surrounds the ball 12 and is provided with screw means to tighten the spherical sheath 15 on the ball 12 and, if desired, lock it thereon.
  • the sheath 15 forms part of a pedal 16 which, if desired, may be replaced by a handgrip.
  • the casing l is further provided with an indicator 17 for each rod 3, which indicates the force exerted during each physical exercise.
  • a bifurcated straight guide member 18 may be secured to the casing 1 adjacent each rod 3 by means of a screw 19 adapted to be threaded into appropriate holes in the casing 1 after the bent-over ends of the bifurcate portion of the guide member 18 have been inserted in corresponding holes 20 in the casing l.
  • the movement of the rod 3 is thereby limited to an arcuate movement in a vertical plane to permit the execution of particular exercises as mentioned before.
  • a physical training device comprising a. a parallelepiped portable casing provided with a plurality of arms extending therefrom, each of said arms carrying at its free end a sucking vessel for se curingthe casing to a supporting surface,
  • each of said ball joints comprising a ball screwed to the free end of said rod received within a sheath forming part of said means adapted to be engaged and moved by the training person, said ball being traversed by a central hole having the shape of an inverted double cone, and a shaft extending through said hole and said sheath and being provided with screw means to enable the sheath to be tightened on the ball, and
  • a physical training device comprising a. a portable casing provided with a plurality of arms extending substantially therefrom at each bottom comer thereof so as to firmly anchor said casing, each of said arms carrying at its free end a suction member for removably securing the casing to a supporting surface,
  • each of said ball joints comprising a ball and a pair of adjustable jaws on either side of said ball, said jaws being formed with recesses which cooperatively define said conical recess, said rods being threaded to and thus readily disengageable from said ball joints for storage within said casing when the device is carried or in storage,
  • means for restraining the movement of said ball joints within said conical recesses formed by said jaws comprising a pair of rods extending through said jaws mounting said jaws between spaced support members, and spring means for engaging one of said jaws for urging said jaws together to clamp said ball,
  • each of said rods adapted to be engaged and moved by the hands or feet of a training person
  • a physical training device comprising a. a portable casing providedv with a plurality of arms extending substantially therefrom at each bottom corner thereof so as to firmly anchor said casing, each of said arms carrying at its free end a suction member for removably securing the casing to a supporting surface, at least two rigid rods extending upwardly from the casing and secured thereto by ball joints each located in a conical recess in the casing so that each of the rods can assume any desired angle within said conical recess, said rods being threaded to and thus readily disengagable from said ball joints for storage within said casing when the device is carried or in storage, 7
  • each of said rods adapted to be engaged and moved by the hands or feet of a training person, said means being connected to said rods by means of a ball joint and including means permitting rotation of said means at the upper free ends of said rods about axes through said ball joints, and
  • each of said ball joints located in said conical recess in the casing comprises a ball and a pair of adjustable jaws on either side of said ball, said jaws being formed in the areas thereof with recesses which cooperatively define said'conical recess.
  • said means for restraining the movement of said ball joints within said conical recesses comprises a pair of rods extending through said jaws for mounting said jaws between spaced support members, and spring means for engaging one of said jaws for urging said jaws together to clamp said ball.
